The real benchmark should be if it can explain Microsoft licensing without self destructing.

It was called Windows SideShow I think. I’ve been eyeing an XPS 420 because I’ve never had a system with one before.

This connector seems like such a nightmare. I don’t understand why GPUs are using it.

Like the other commenters said, the performance per watt isn’t great but if your power is cheap, that won’t matter. You should be able to get quad core Xeon chips on eBay for super cheap (I bought a pair of E5440s for $16 I think). You got plenty of RAM already for a server of that era. Does it have a PCIe power plug inside? You’ll need that for those two GPUs.

So long it has PCIe, those cards are going to be backwards compatible with it. Whether you’ll be able to get their full potential performance depends on the rest of the system. That’s a mid to late 2000s server. What are the other specifications of it?

I’ve had a Brother laser printer for years now, never given me any issues.
